Archaeology and Heritage

Development and history may at times seem to be at odds. The effects of environment and time, along with urbanization and the ever-increasing need for new infrastructure, keeps our landscape changing. However, historic places and structures connect us to our past, contributing to our identity and who we are as a society.

We help our clients make informed decisions for the future of their built and natural landscape while keeping its character intact, empowering them as the custodians who connect heritage with the future.

WSP helps clients achieve their objectives by advising them at all stages of a project on how to comply with international, national, and local planning policy and best practice. Our team contributes to the identification, mitigation of developmental impacts and conservation of cultural heritage resources across the world, delivering solutions that respect the environmental, aesthetic, cultural, and historical values that shape our communities and their collective identities. We liaise extensively with the public, local architectural conservation advisory committees, and other stakeholders. We have advised on archaeological sites, landscapes, structures, and monuments internationally.
